Obviously you haven't heard either The Young Gods or (one of my faves)
LiLiPuT. OK, neither are "rock" in the traditional sense, though they are
probably closer to that than KaTe, and TYG have gone downhill in more
recent years (esp. when they stopped singing in French), but they were both
creative and unique in their height. Now if anyone can find that OOP 2-CD
LiLiPuT CD for me, I'd be incredibly happy--know anyone who has one that
wants to sell it?
